I am trying to decide what reflector to buy for my homemade 3x Cree R2 light. The beam should not be too tight (maybe in the 20-40 degrees range?). What do you think about these reflectors:

Most of the reflectors put out a approximately 10 degree beam. Isn't that too concentrated? I have got no experience with the high power bike lights so I am only guessing.
Also, what's better - a reflector or a lens?
Suggestions, recommendations, personal experiences... are most welcome!
